Commentarists here in Brazil likes to say about the football magic, when weird things happens. The USA goal is one of those, when the play starts at a lost goal chance and culminates in a deadly counter-attack. Look how open was the defence of Algeria.

Hell, even I screamed goal. I was tense too.

It was one of those things where you just knew it would happen, because it had to happen... it just had to. After England was up by 1 to Slovenia early in their game, and USA had 2 goals disallowed (1 against Slovenia, 1 against Algeria), it just seemed like the cards were continuously stacked against them, and they were going to come back as they always do. It was even more amazing because Dempsey was stopped by the goalkeeper and then it seemed like the ball was just going to roll away untouched when Donovan ran into view and scored.

Ugh, such b.s. This was, for me, the most exciting game so far... so many shots on goal, so many saves, so many fouls, so much serious fighting by both teams to score all throughout the game, and then there was that goal that was declared offside, which really was a great play. I don't even know where to begin with people like that.

I watched Paraguay - Kiwis because I thought it would be the more entertaining match, but it turned out pretty bleh. Sad to see New Zealand go, though.
I changed streams fast enough to see crying Italians, probably should have watched that game.

Worst group of the cup this E group. But tomorrow will be the best game, keep watching.

I loled when Italy got out.

Also, I can't understand how there is people who think it's boring. That you dont like to see men running and sweating I can comprehend, but boring? The US league must be boring as hell, but then you need to watch REAL football (soccer my ass)

Jesus, Brasil vs Portugal was a let-down. So boring the audience even forgot to toot their vuvuzelas. The "small" nations may technically not be on par, but at least they look like they want to play the fucking game.

Did anyone see Japan vs. Denmark? I just caught up with the highlights reel and the goals were amazing.

Spain vs Chile was a pretty good game. Not sure what was more ridiculous though, the sending off or the last twenty minutes of the game being played out for 2-1.
